Amazon Prime Video has signed a worldwide exclusive content deal with Bollywood star Salman Khan, one of the biggest star deals to have ever been done.

The deal will allow the over-the-top (OTT) video streaming service to premiere all future films of Khan (including recent release Tubelight) exclusively on Amazon Prime Video right after the theatrical release.

The deal gives Amazon a two months exclusive window where the films cannot be aired on satellite, television channel or any other form of distribution.

James Farrell, head of content, Prime Video, Asia Pacific, added, “Salman is a huge star with a massive global fan following. This exclusive worldwide Prime Video streaming deal with him is one of the biggest star deals to have ever been done in the world. India is a top priority market for Amazon and we believe that the love India has for films, the passion, the energy and the talent of India needs to be on a worldwide stage for global audiences to see.”

Apart from the new releases, existing titles like Bajrangi Bhaijaan, Kick, Jai Ho and Hero will also be available on Amazon Prime Video as part of the deal.

Nitesh Kripalani, country head, Amazon Video India, said, “Salman Khan is the biggest star in India with a massive worldwide appeal... This is another big step to change the way how Indian customers consume entertainment with Salman’s movies coming first to Prime Video customers, before their television broadcast.”
